Dylan_ Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'm listening to Neighborhoods right now and I think even with all it's flaws it still blows California out of the water. I love how each song has a different feel and I would also love to hear more songs like Fighting the Gravity and Love is Dangerous. Call me crazy but I really think Fighting the Gravity is my favorite song from Neighborhoods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osgod Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 GOTD is a great modern day Blink track and the direction Blink should have followed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan_ Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 10 years ago I probably would of hated Fighting the Gravity and Love is Dangerous but I guess over time I grew to enjoy and respect different music and now they are some of my favorites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan_ Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 The thing I really love about Fighting the Gravity is how honest it is. Mark wanted to experiment and write something different and I really respect that. I also get a +44 vibe from it and I think that is what a follow up +44 album would sound like. To me it's just way more interesting than anything from California. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theedge00 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I just really wish they would re-record Neighborhoods somewhere down the line. Guitars and drums sound so blah now, no punch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig182 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Neighbourhoods has its positive moments, but much of it just lacks energy to me. There are so many parts where it sounded like they started to develop an idea and then just thought "ah fuck it, it will do" without actually taking it any further. Big parts of the record are just flat. They don't make me want to sing along, tap my foot, fucking air guitar, jump around, cry, anything. Just utter indifference, waiting for bland bridges to end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 To be fair, Blink 182 has never made me wanna air guitar, jump around or cry. I'll tap my foot and sing along though, those bastards got that out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capsov Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7632325/blink-182-interview-california-deluxe-grammy-2017-travis-barker-mark-hoppus HYPE is not dead! Can you give us a preview of the studio music you’ve done the last couple of weeks? Hoppus: It’s almost, it’s more than a whole other record, it’s a double album at this point and it’s more of an extension of what we did in the studio earlier. Some of the songs were songs that we did not put on the first album, but are great songs. And some are brand new that we just wrote last week, a lot of high-energy songs, punk rock, some more ballad-y songs, a little more electronic experimentation, it’s a good mix. It’s not a collection of throwaway songs, it’s like a whole other album. Barker: We’re working on the deluxe album and I got in a conversation with [producer John] Feldmann this morning. I was like, “Dude, we got a problem, the deluxe album might even be better than California.” It’s a good problem to have, but, oh shit, it’s incredible. It’s kind of like a mind f--- because it should almost be a new album. But it just goes to show how natural and organic things are happening and how fun this process has been because it’s not hard to go write great songs and make fun music that we love creating and listening to. And the results are great. The deluxe album will be neck-and-neck with California. It’s in no way fillers. Are there songs you are particularly excited to play? Barker: Yeah, there are like four songs that didn’t make the album that we’re putting on there. But then there are brand-new songs like “Wildfire” and “Parking Lot” and “Misery” that are all so f---ing strong, man. It’s amazing. We started writing maybe a week and a half ago and I think we have 14 songs. It’s a good problem to have. I’m really excited about this deluxe edition. It’s gonna be incredible. Hoppus: There’s a song called “Misery” that we just wrote and a song called “Wildfire” that are both pretty high-energy, anthemic, huge choruses, I think will go over really well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan_ Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Sounds interesting. But they said the same thing about a bunch of songs on California and then they turned out to be pretty average. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's writer's block, just out of touch. The hype n Grammys doesn't mean the music is good. But the fact they said punk rock interests me.

jordidanen95 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 somewhere between 2015 and 2016 Matt put on some weight (Its the curse of the blink-182 guitarist) dude looks years older now, such a shame..the guy always had great facial aesthetics. I guess he's enjoying the ride, and succes he has had with california Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Zoomer Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 "Misery" sounds like a Skiba track! Most part I'm excited for is the little "electronic experimentation" which reminds me of +44 and a bit of the sound on DED. The fact they said the deluxe album may be even better is very interesting, although I don't want to depend too much on hype. I wish they would've made this like a different artwork and hell even a title, even though they can't be releasing another album already after California so soon. Would've been cool for this to have a different personality than just the "deluxe edition". Hopefully for California, electronic experimentation doesn't mean extremely autotuned woahs.
